Book Synopsis Symbol and Substance in Japanese Lacquer by : Barbra Teri Okada
Book excerpt: Published in conjunction with a fall 1995 exhibition of the Ehrenkranz Collection at the Japan Society in New York City. An introductory essay details the processes of harvesting, refining, and applying lacquer, and gives a historical overview of the evolution of specific techniques. Fifty-five examples from the 15th to the 18th centuries are shown in full-page photos, and are thoroughly described and explicated in accompanying text. A glossary of technical terms and a detailed bibliography contribute to the book's usefulness for collectors, scholars, and dealers. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
